In their words...

Being a part of the 50 Mile March has completely changed my life. From navigating fundraising for the first time, creating life long friendships, to pushing my body further than I could have ever imagined, I am forever changed for the better. I committed to this mission because of my dad, and there are no words to explain the magnitude of emotions I was overcome with seeing him at the finish line. I started Operation Noble Watchman a woman who was struggling with herself and her purpose and I ended the mission stronger and more confident both mentally and physically.

Volunteering with the 50 Mile March profoundly impacted me, not only as a civilian, but also as a wounded warrior and Air Force veteran. Walking alongside others who share a deep commitment to supporting my fellow veterans, I found a renewed sense of purpose and connection. The experience was a powerful reminder of the importance of community in battling the invisible wounds and loss that so many veterans experience, yet so many others criticize. It strengthened my resolve to honor the memory of the friends I’ve lost by continuing to fight for those who are still struggling. I will continue to support 50 mile march every year, rain or shine, until we reach our goals or until I cant. I got their 6.

I was blessed to complete the 50 MILE MARCH this past weekend and wanted to share some thoughts on my experience. I believe each experience in life, large or small, can be an opportunity for learning and growth. Although we completed the march just yesterday, and I know I’ll be processing and reflecting on this experience for a while to come, I wanted to share some of the wisdom and my personal opportunities for growth that I’ve identified so far.

Hands down the hardest thing I’ve done to date, which was my goal when I signed up, to do hard things. By the end though, my purpose had nothing to do with “doing hard things”, but to give our veterans the ability to create a community within a community. A way for them to lean in and be someone to lean on for others.
